visio 2013 standard does not show the "UML Sequence" template as shown belowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xtZIDI8Ajg
only professional viso 2013 shows it?
are there existing sample diagrams which i can use as sample and modify on top of them easily?
any alternate tool to draw these type of diagrams easily apart from visio like free open source tools?
Please advise

I have the same code structure as in the example, and when the code runs successfully, I was expecting to see afterwards the "Undo" button enabled in Visio, showing me the Undo Scope name that I set, but button appears dissabled.

Tying to install Office 2019 Applications through SCCM using latest features Click to Run. I was able to do a fresh install of Office 365 with Visio and Project on my test machine. Following on that test machine, I un-installed the Visio and Project and then installed visio 2016 manually. so as a test run I am trying to only upgrade visio2016 to visio219 using the same Click to run configuration but when I choose do not uninstall anything and then try to install the visio2019, click to run complaints that "Can't install, to install this first uninstall the following product(s) and try again"

I have to install and activate Visio 2019 pro and I have dilemma.

Hi,
in our company we want to install WSUS for multiple branches.
from main office we want to approve the updates.
I need to create WSUS proposal drawing and PPT if someone can provide me a sample for the same it will be very helpful.

I have a problem with Office 2016 and Project 2016, my issue is that I have a Volume Key for office using KMS and a Click to run Project installer which my customer wants to use.

I have been researching and found that they wont work together.

I am wondering if there is any way I can install Project with the MSI version instead of Click to Run using the same key?

I have also seen a lot about an Office deployment tool, mostly to install MSI versions of Project or Visio onto a machine that has Click to Run office 365 or similar, but I am not seeing much in the reverse side. Is it possible to install Office 2016 using that deployment tool in the same way to get them working together

Hello, I would like to use Visio as a "sales automation tool". I will be reviewing floor plans with customers and want to create an interactive experience. The plans (which I already have) contain plotted assets that are currently stagnant and not connected to any data source... I would need each asset to have data linked to it, I assume via the serial number of the asset/SmartShapes. The cost of each item in the drawing would be retrieved from either Excel or an Access database and the TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP would appear on the drawing page in a table summed up.. As I "uncheck" assets, the total cost of ownership would update accordingly, providing the customer with updated costs should they remove specific devices.. The data part I can customize and insert..

...but... would anyone be interested in helping me with a high-level overview of what else I need to do? I have limited experience with Visio but am able to pick up any software rather quickly. Would this require more than Visio/Excel?

Hi!
i'm trying to change between visio pages from code. That means i need to set the VisioApplication.ActivePage, but it is readonly. So i'm trying to set the VisioApplication.ActiveWindow.Page.
All good, but when i try that, i get a runtime exception 'Invalid container identifier.'. Anything i tried didn't work. I know that VisioApplication.ActiveWindow.Page is a dynamic variable in c#. But i still don't know how to handle this exception. My code is :

I feel completely stupid asking this, but I've been struggling for an hour and I just can't seem to figure it out. I've searched the web and found several pages on how to MAKE custom lines in Microsoft Visio, and I have been able to do that. However, I cannot seem to manage to figure out how to actually insert the custom line onto my document. Help?

I am trying to create a generic shape that incorporates an external image file with a known folder path and a file pointer provided as a property from an external Visio add-on. This shape would pull the appropriate images based on the instance from which the shape was utilized.

Our company use Visio to draw schematic wiring diagrams. We have created many custom stencils with shapes that have been exported from AutoCAD.

At the moment, using an A1 titleblock, we are finding it tiresome having to drag each required shape into the drawing, using a select window and re-sizing the shapes and text to fit into the paper space because the number of shapes on each schematic will differ greatly depending on the size of the job.

We would like to ask if there is a way to batch re-size shapes on each stencil so that the shape size and text size are uniform.

We have already looked into the "Size and Position" window and changing the page scale, but this does not fix the issue because the text size does not change and each shape is a different size depending on what piece of equipment it is representing.

At the end of the day, we would like to batch edit the shapes on each stencil so that they are a standard size that is readable when used in a schematic diagram.

I have attached a visio drawing with examples of different shapes that we use.

Hello
I want to link my excel data to gantt chart shape in visio to update values in excel and reflect in gantt chart accordingly.
After I import my excel data into visio, i am trying to link this data (row data) to my gantt chart shape by drag-drop or through menu data link option. But updated data is being reflected in shape data but not being reflected in gantt chart frame itself.
all column names in gantt chart and in excel data are same and i refer (task #) column as ref. column to match data.
but when I link relevant data row to each object in same task line in gantt chart frame, start dates are being updated for example, but not finish date or duration or task name being updated even though i drag and drop onto each cells in same task line in gantt chart
When i click on task name for example , i can see updated data in shape data window as it is linked already to my excel data, but that value or text does not show up in the drawing (gantt chart)
When i try this data linking on other shapes than gantt chart (timeline block e.g.) i dont get such issue and once it is updated in shape data, it is being reflected in drawing too.
Can you assist on that?
Thanks

Can someone let me know if there are any applications/tools that will allow me import the resources from a resource group and diagram the resources in an application like Microsoft Visio. I have found the following application but its very expensive
